Yes and it says the font is too bold on this.

So Id like to see if the ARF is better. (Thinner font)

Man it’s bolder on 10x Zoom.

On the wrist or instapics it’s not visible.

I d like to see the comparaison too.

The only difference is the cream white ?

Along with the sharpness of details and overall quality.

Some say the Noob dials are "good enough", but a number of people who have seen both in person, have gone to the extra expense and effort to switch to an ARF dial.

Understand, but switching is too hard.

Shaving (hard to tell how much)
Cutting feets
Putting feets

Latest Noob dials are good... but I don’t like the text printing. At the moment I’m in trouble deciding to swap or not due to the thinner subdial on ARF. The Noob to me are looking good...

CF insert is 158 dollars + 40 shipping = 200
ARF bracelet 168 + 40 shipping = 208
Total : 408 dollars.

Maybe better to go ARF Daytona and get dial too

What do you think guys ?

I think mr M Scott can be more precise than me, but I think yours is a V2.

I can post you pics of mine and look at my bezel: to me is different from yours.

Not bad at all, I can barely spot the difference up close. Doubt anyone will spot it from a foot or two away

i thought the only difference of v2.2 is the updated dial. i didnt know noob released a bezel like that? it looks like an aftermarket bezel. which dealer did you get it from?

This one was taken directly in place of origin by a travelling friend of mine. He bought this and also the 116519. I had both in hands and decided to take the Panda one, but the 116519 have a GREAT dial.
Anyway, I noticed the difference in the bezel between them (both from Noob), especially the UNITS PER HOUR that was "bigger" on the 116519, exactly like yours. Honestly I can't say wich is gen like, bigger or not.

And I saw also another thing: the inner part, that is near the crystal side, have a bevel on mine that is not visible on the 116519 with bezel like yours.
Looking in the comparison between the GEN and CLEAN bezel, I can't see it on both.

Tried to catch it in photo...
